Abstract

The Turtle-play is similar to Jisinbalgi, lion-dance/play, cow-play. After that, The Turtle-play has not been handed down in rural society since the Korean War and has since developed into a simple children’s play. It was then reproduced in the 1970s and 1980s through national folk art contests and passed on in school education. some studies related to Turtle-play after the 2000s have confused to fully understand turtle play. This study was carried out with questions about the problems of the existing subjects of the Turtle-play the combination of children’s play and traditional farmer’s music, and the relation with field farming. As a result of examining various primary and secondary sources related to Turtle-play, the following features were revealed. First, it is Dadong-nori in a rural area rather than children’s play. because Daedong-nori is the initiative of adults, beginning with children, and directly or indirectly through the participation of village members. Second, the Turtle-play is not related to dry field farming that cultivates sorghum. The reduction of dry-field farming in the area was carried out between the 18th and 19th centuries, and there were more rice fields than dry field at the early 20th century. Third, If Turtle-plays is created by the combination of children’s play and traditional farmer’s music, it is not traditional folk-play. The Turtle-play is a folk-play with few subjects of animals in Korea, and it has an important meaning the transmission and performance aspect of Daedong-nori.
